Question

***MUST BE DONE IN SPSS***

A researcher is interested in studying the effect that the amount of fat in the diet and amount of exercise has on the mental acuity of middle-aged women. The researcher used three different treatment levels for the diet and two levels for the exercise. The results of the acuity test for the subjects in the different treatment levels are shown below.

a. R Squared = .878 (Adjusted R Squared = .852)

Test for fat: calculated F=4.65, P=0.020 which is < 0.05 level. The fat effect is significant.

Test for Exercise: calculated F=135.2, P=0.000 which is < 0.05 level. The Exercise effect is significant.

Test for interaction: calculated F=13.85, P=0.000 which is < 0.05 level. The interaction effect is significant.

b. Find the effect size for each factor and the interaction and explain the results. (Show all work to receive full credit)

The effect size for fat is 0.279 which is large.

The effect size for exercise is 0.849 which is large.

The effect size for interaction is 0.536 which is large.
